I've been fortunate with the wind on Ventoux, but less fortunate with the heat. When I did it as the finishing climb in the 2009 Etape, it was over 30 degrees in the shade, and the forest section was like riding in an oven. No wind, lots of trees and an unrelenting gradient. It was hellish.
I destroyed a pair of Rapha GT gloves that day, due to sweat.
